Wittgenstein, Rules and Institutions

Clearly and engagingly written, this volume is vital reading for students of philosophy and sociology, and anyone interested in Wittgenstein''s later thought. David Bloor provides a challenging and informative evaluation of Wittgenstein''s account of rules and rule-following. Arguing for a collectivist reading, Bloor offers the first consistent sociological interpretation of Wittgenstein''s work for many years.
